My Favorite Coffee Maker

I think DeLonghi did a pretty good job with this machine. Perhaps a stronger enamel paint on the warmer and a back lighted clock would make this machine is, in my opinion, be one of the best on the market.

The font loading is definitely the greatest feature. Never having to move the coffeemaker to fill is incredible. Best coffee, and I love my coffee, from any machine I have owned. Starbucks look out ; Carafe never drips, unless you try to pour too fast,...

Only two cons I have with this machine ; 1. there is no back light on the clock, making it difficult to see ; 2. the hot plate warmer is delaminating. or if you wish, the paint is peeling

LEAKS, LEAKS, LEAKS

Started leaking during brewing and would not stop. After 3 times, I decided to dissassemble the unit and find out why it was leaking. Belive me it was no small feat. I found that there was a hard water tube from the the bottom to the top approx. 6...

Design flaw in carafe -> cracks and leaks

Has some nice features, but with a serious flaw in the design of the carafe. I've owned two of them (I'm a slow learner) in the past ten months and the same problem occurred with each. With regular use, a crack will form at the bottom of the handle...

Nice features

Cracked carafe makes it worthless - special design does not allow replacement with other brand carafe. It's a safety hazard

Decent

I've had this coffee maker for about six months now, and it's fine. It's not the greatest, but no worse than any other I've ever had. Front loading was the obvious appeal. I haven't experienced the leaks that other reviewer had, so it seems some just...
